Yes, I love Wanda Sykes and this is just one of the many reasons why. Check out this video in which Wanda discusses the monochromatic Fox News. What makes this even more special is that her show is on the Fox entertainment channel. So does this make her a "Fox Hater?" - oh, noooooooo!!!!!

I like her show. Having said that, she took the show from Fox, got paid, and is just NOW complaining about the lack of color?

I guess once you get the money, the color green disappears and ou can finally see the rest of the rainbow... or the missong colors.

Tazzy, to be fair, Fox has a history of poking fun at itself and critiquing itself in it's own programing. I suspect somebody reviews the shows before they air so if Fox had a problem with it, it would have been yanked.

Aquatic, she is a comedian.. and a damn good one. I took what she said as a laugh. The clip was hilarious.

To amplify that, I read once that Mr. Burns on The Simpsons was based on Barry Diller, who headed up Fox.

This is no different than David Letterman tossing barbs at GE every now and then when he was on NBC and they owned NBC (maybe they still do). It's called comedy - a concept that eludes some OP's.

She can be very funny but this clip didn't even make me smile, let alone laugh. I don't think she can be as edgy as she's used to being within the confines of this network show. Just my 2 cents.............luci
